About
The department is responsible for the water system on campus. The team is tasked with maintaining and repairing the main water line and reclaimed water system lines and valves, as well as maintaining the backflow prevention equipment. This crew assists outside contractors when hook-ups to main water, gas or sewer lines are involved, and reviews plans to ensure any underground work does not affect these lines.

In addition to maintaining the plumbing system, the shop also helps provide the campus with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Water supplied to the campus comes from two major sources: ground and surface water. Groundwater is supplied from one or both of Cal Poly Pomona's two wells. Water produced from these wells is blended with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's imported surface water from the Colorado River and the State Water Project in Northern California. The quality of the groundwater and surface water is reported annually.
Facilities Management routinely monitors for contaminants in the drinking water according to federal and state laws. To minimize any harmful bacteria or other pathogens that may be present, the university continuously disinfect the water. To ensure the water's quality, disinfection and bacteria levels in the water are continuously monitored.
